Buy Cannabis Seeds Spokane

Often listed as one of the best places to live in all of Washington State, Spokane is a vibrant, cultural, and picturesque city renowned for its intermingling of urbanity and nature. It is also, like all of Washington, one of the few places in the country where medical and recreational cannabis are legal, but where adult recreational users are still not legally allowed to grow it at home. In fact, even though Washington has been one of the most progressive states in the U.S. as the fourth in the nation to legalize medical cannabis in 1998, and the first of two to legalize recreational marijuana in 2012, it is somehow the ONLY state that has legalized cannabis where those who do not have their medical marijuana cards and who are caught growing cannabis plants at home will still be charged with a felony!

Even more unfortunate is that the most recent piece of legislation that would have allowed Spokane and Washington residents to legally cultivate marijuana plants at home was pulled from consideration before a planned committee vote, which means that for the time being, prospective recreational at-home growers will have to wait at least another year before seeing any major changes to recreational cultivation laws in their city and state.

There are still a few positives for Spokane growers in that not only is it legal for registered medical marijuana users and their caregivers to grow medicinal cannabis plants at home, it is not illegal in Spokane, or anywhere in the U.S., to buy, own, and store ungerminated cannabis seeds from online seed banks like Pacific Seed Bank (PSB) and Growers Choice Seeds (GCS). This is because the THC and other cannabinoids found in female plants are not activated in ungerminated indica and sativa seeds until they have been properly germinated.

As such, because it is only a matter of time before Washington State passes recreational cultivation laws, prospective growers have already begun ordering their favorite cannabis seeds from GCS. In addition, since it is legal for medical cardholders to grow cannabis at home, medical marijuana patients have been ordering and growing their favorite marijuana strains at home for medicinal purposes for years.

Located between the Cascade and Rocky Mountain Ranges, which shield the city from the typical weather patterns much of the Pacific Northwest tends to experience, Spokane has more distinct four seasons than other areas in Western Washington. On average, Spokane has a frost-free growing season that last 180 days. Traditionally, it sees mild springs; short and hot summers that are Mediterranean-like; mild and rainy autumns; and cold, snowy, and mostly cloudy winters.

When it comes to cultivating medicinal cannabis, Spokane’s springs and summers are conducive to both feminized and autoflower strains that thrive in warm to hot, dry, Mediterranean-like climates.

While a good majority of autoflower seeds and feminized marijuana seeds can both be grown indoors and out in Spokane, there are certain advantages to growing autoflowers outdoors during the city’s 180-day growing season.

The reason that seed banks like GCS only sell feminized marijuana seeds is because they have a 99% chance of growing into bud-producing female plants, as opposed to regular seeds, which produce both male and female plants. In addition, GCS is so confident in the germination rates of their cannabis seeds that it makes available to customers that they provide a germination guarantee that if 90% of your seeds don’t germinate they will replace them for free, provided you stick to their cheap and easy germination guide.

Feminized seeds are photoperiod strains that are unable to flip to flower on their own without having their light/dark cycles changed from what is generally an 18/6 cycle to a 12/12 cycle. As such, they can present a minor challenge to first-time medical growers in Spokane as they will have to learn about light cycles and the flowering stages of their crops. However, GCS has an incredible, and free, blog that has information on almost everything you need to know about growing cannabis both indoors and out, amongst numerous other things. As such, beginner growers can arm themselves with all of this easy-to-access information and apply it to feminized strains like Marionberry Kush and CBD-rich Dance World that are easy for beginner growers to nurture in regard to their cultivation needs and care.

To start with, while not all feminized strains are autoflowers, all autoflowering strains are feminized. Autoflowers are feminized strains that contain approximately 10% ruderalis, which is a robust landrace strain that originated in Central Asia. Their ruderalis genetics not only empower them to be able to automatically flip to flower on their own, they are also imbued with the tendency to produce smaller, faster-flowering plants that tend to be hardier than most feminized strains.

As such, at-home medical cannabis growers in Spokane love being able to grow autoflowers like Hempstar and White Rhino outdoors from about early May until early October, and one of the things that they love about growing them indoors is that they tend to be smaller, which means they take up a lot less space in a limited indoor grow space.

To start with, the fact that recreational cultivation is still illegal means that finding a wide selection of cannabis seeds for medicinal purposes is extremely limited in Spokane. As such, the fact that seed banks like GCS offer such an extensive selection of strains is a huge draw for at-home medical growers in Spokane.

Two of the other big reasons why medical users and prospective recreational growers in Spokane prefer to order from highly reputable seed banks like GCS are provided below.

• Speedy and Discrete Shipping: While it is not illegal to own and store ungerminated marijuana seeds in Spokane, most adult users who are waiting for the encroaching day that Washington legalizes at-home recreational growing don’t exactly wish to broadcast the fact that they have received cannabis seeds in the mail. And, for medical patients in Spokane who suffer from limited mobility issues, having their favorite medical and high-CBD strains delivered right to their door is an invaluable service.
• Cost: Not only does GCS make its cannabis seeds available at competitive prices, they also make wholesale marijuana seeds available and have regular monthly sales. 

In addition to the four different feminized and autoflowering strains already provided, here are three more that should thrive both indoors and out in Spokane.

1. UW feminized: it’s easy to understand why this indica that’s rumored to have been created in the medical research lab of the University of Washington in the 1990s is so popular in Spokane.

2. Green Queen autoflowering: this sativa-leaning beauty should thrive in Spokane’s dry, Mediterranean-like summers.

3. Jesus OG autoflowering: when grown outside this transcendent sativa likes a warm Mediterranean-like setting and should be ready to harvest before the first frost of the year in Spokane.
